Abstract

The present invention relates to a projector protection case designed to enclose a display projector. The case comprises a plurality of solid sides and airtight seals between each of the solid sides, ensuring a secure and protective enclosure. The case further includes an air intake opening to facilitate proper ventilation. Additionally, a projector lens opening is provided, configured with a deliberate gap between the lens and the case to prevent the maintenance of an airtight seal. This intentional design feature allows for the efficient dissipation of heat generated by the projector, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. The projector protection case provides a reliable and durable solution for safeguarding display projectors while maintaining proper ventilation for optimal functionality.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A projector protection case, comprising:
 a case suitable for enclosing around a display projector wherein the case comprises:
 a plurality of solid sides; 
 airtight seals between each of the solid sides; 
 an air intake opening; 
 a projector lens opening, wherein the opening is configured with a gap between the lens and the case such that an airtight seal is not maintained. 
   
     
     
         2 . The projector protection case of  claim 1 , wherein the gap between the lens and the case is configured to allow air escape in a pathway along a length of the lens. 
     
     
         3 . The projector protection case of  claim 2 , wherein the air intake is configured with an air vent configured to provide air at a first air pressure. 
     
     
         4 . The projector protection case of  claim 3 , wherein the first air pressure is sufficient to maintain a constant amount of air to escape the pathway along the length of the lens. 
     
     
         5 . The projector protection case of  claim 4 , wherein constant amount of air is sufficient to keep fog particulates from amassing on the lens. 
     
     
         6 . The projector protection case of  claim 1 , wherein the projector case is further comprised with a plurality of model-specific openings. 
     
     
         7 . The projector protection case of  claim 6 , wherein the model-specific openings are configured to allow for a coupling between the case and one or more protrusions of a particular model of projector. 
     
     
         8 . The projector protection case of  claim 7 , wherein the coupling between the model-specific openings of the case and the one or more protrusions of the particular model of projector provide a near airtight seal. 
     
     
         9 . The projector protection case of  claim 7 , wherein the coupling between the model-specific openings of the case and the one or more protrusions of the particular model of projector provide an airtight seal. 
     
     
         10 . The projector protection case of  claim 1 , wherein the projector case is further comprised with a plurality of temperature regulating vent holes. 
     
     
         11 . The projector protection case of  claim 10 , wherein the temperature regulating vent holes are configured over an area known to experience high temperatures during usage. 
     
     
         12 . The projector protection case of  claim 11 , wherein the temperature regulating vent holes are covered in a material. 
     
     
         13 . A method of protecting a projector from fog, wherein the method comprises:
 enclosing the projector within a case, wherein the case comprises:
 a plurality of solid sides; 
 airtight seals between each of the solid sides; 
 an air intake opening; and 
 a projector lens opening, wherein the opening is configured with a gap between the lens and the case such that an airtight seal is not maintained; and 
   mounting the projector in the case;   providing the air intake opening with a supply of clean air.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the gap between the lens and the case is configured to allow air escape in a pathway along a length of the lens. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the air intake is configured with an air vent configured to provide air at a first air pressure. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first air pressure is sufficient to maintain a constant amount of air to escape the pathway along the length of the lens. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein constant amount of air is sufficient to keep fog particulates from amassing on the lens. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the projector case is further comprised with a plurality of model-specific openings. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the model-specific openings are configured to allow for a coupling between the case and one or more protrusions of a particular model of projector. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the coupling between the model-specific openings of the case and the one or more protrusions of the particular model of projector provide a near airtight seal. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the coupling between the model-specific openings of the case and the one or more protrusions of the particular model of projector provide an airtight seal. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the projector case is further comprised with a plurality of temperature regulating vent holes. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the temperature regulating vent holes are configured over an area known to experience high temperatures during usage. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the temperature regulating vent holes are covered in a material.
